Assessment
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION results from attendance and participation (P x 10%) and the completion of a Group Work (GW x 30%, max. 3 students) and an Individual Work (IW x 60%) practical/contest. The assignments (GW/IW) will be graded according to the depth of the research and the quality of the written and oral presentation. The presentation of the GW will be made by the whole group and will be graded jointly. Failure to complete the GW or IW, or to obtain a minimum mark of 8, will result in the student moving on to FINAL ASSESSMENT.
FINAL ASSESSMENT consists of a theoretical IW (40%) and a Written Test (WT x 60%) on the contents of the course.
The NORMAL EXAM corresponds to the delivery of the final pieces of the IW for exhibition or the completion of the WT.
The APPEAL EXAM consists of a new IW (20%) and a WT (80%).
